India-Based Lupin Limited Opens Somerset, New Jersey, Manufacturing Hub
05/10/2017
"The opening of this facility in Somerset enhances our scale in the U.S. generic market, and is a complement to Lupin's Coral Springs, Florida, inhalation R&D center," stated Lupin President Kurt Nielsen.
"We have set ambitious targets for ourselves in the U.S. market. This 10-fold expansion of our manufacturing site will enable us to meet and exceed our targets. We are confident that we will continue to grow, and look forward to creating additional opportunities which benefit our community,” he added.
Vinita Gupta, CEO of Lupin Limited, said, " This expansion enables us to serve the growing need for affordable medicines for U.S. patients, providers, government and other stakeholders. In the last three years, we have made strategic investments in the U.S. in R&D and manufacturing to establish a deeper footprint in the country, and access technology capabilities for niche technology platforms."
According to company officials, since 2016 Lupin has invested over $1 billion in R&D and Manufacturing in the United States. Lupin employs 635 highly skilled and specialized employees in the U.S., with that number expected to grow as Lupin expands. In March 2016, Lupin acquired the Somerset facility for $880 million. Since acquisition, over 80 jobs have been created to support the site bringing the total number of employees in Somerset up to 380. 50 more jobs are expected to be added over the next 12 to 18 months. In addition, Lupin has invested around $35 million in R&D and infrastructure.
"There's no better place in the world to make significant investments in the biopharmaceutical industry, and in just over a year, Lupin has doubled down on its economic investment in the Somerset community and the global pharmaceutical landscape," said Rep. Watson Coleman. "By expanding their facilities, this organization is not only putting more residents of New Jersey's twelfth congressional district to work, but also, focusing on making affordable medicine for patients worldwide."
